A Narrative Report on the Best Practices of School Based Management From 2007-2010 at Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School, Gingoog City

I- Introduction

In the recent years, there has been a growing international trend toward decentralization, devolution , and greater autonomy for schools in the public education system, with the goal of improving the quality education ( Beare and Boyd 1993; Moon 1996). Current arguments regarding changes in school governance and management aim in this direction although they travel under a variety of names. Such policy reformation is known as School-Based Management Reform in Canada and the USA ( Crown 1990), Local Management Schools in Britain (Wallace 1992), Self- Managing Schools and Devolution in Australia ( Caldwell and Spinks 1988; Sharpe 1993)and the Autonomous School in Israel (Reshef 1984). Regardless of the label applied , the terms are meant to describe “ a system of education enhancing the autonomy of members at the site level in creating advantageous conditions for participation, improvement innovation, accountability and continuous professional growth.

In the Philippines, governance of basic education shall begin at the national level. It is in the regions, divisions , schools and learning centers- herein referred to as the field offices-where policy and principle for the governance of basic education shall be translated into programs, projects and services developed, adapted and offered to fit local needs.

It is clear from this Declaration of Policy that the most important change in the governance of basic education must occur at the level of the school, “the heart of the formal education system.” School –Based Management is the institutional expression of such change.

The Department of Education has stepped up its efforts to decentralize education management – a strategy that is expected to improve the Department’s operating efficiency and upgrade education quality.

The Filipino nation struggles to work out towards transformation. It covers a number of areas of which education cannot help but relate to and be concerned with. At the moment, our society is undergoing rapid changes, bringing with it new aims, new ideas and new values. What is good and acceptable today may be obsolete tomorrow. To effect substantial reforms and change important consideration should like to be at the very root of our objectives. It is said that all change begin with the inner transformation of the human individual; and all that is attained by the bold programs of economics and social development are artificial and passing when not based and supported by the intellectual and spiritual development.

In the Division of Gingoog City, the Department of Education is trying its best to be effective in implementing the School-Based Management since the ultimate goal of all efforts should be to improve student achievement. It was observed at the school level that the school had an improvement and a high performance in academic and non-academic if people in school-site councils have a real authority over budget, personnel, and curriculum and changes are introduced that directly affected teaching and learning.

The school administrators are expected to be the leader and manager of the school. R.A. 9155 envisions the School head as both an instructional leader and an administrative manager.

In the Division of Gingoog City, School Administrators who generally comes from the ranks of teachers goes through a learning curve that must progress into becoming an effective educational motivator and instructional leader. Hence, there was a study that will find out what are the best practices in the School-Based Management as model for other schools and how School-Based Management practices contribute to the...

I'm a professional dropout.” I did. And to many others. Their stories spoke of racial discrimination and rejection by teachers. “The way I see it seems like the whites don't want to get involved with the Indians. They think we're bad. We drink. Our families drink. Dirty. Ugly. And the teachers don't want to help us. They say, 'Oh, no, there is Another Indian asking a question' because they don't understand. So we stopped asking questions.” Their stories spoke of the importance and power of families and the Navajo culture. “I go crazy worrying about my parents. They need me so us Navajo stick together. I feel kinda proud to be a Navajo.” And their stories spoke of academic and social marginalization in their classes and schools. “It was just like they wanted to put us aside, us Indians. They didn't tell us nothing about careers or things to do after highschool. They didn't encourage us to go to college. They just took care of the White students. They just wanted to get rid of the Indians.” This article is about these Navajo and Ute youth who leave highschool.

...study is a second grade student at an elementary
school. I will call him John Smith. John is a Hispanic student who has two other
siblings: a younger brother in first grade and a newborn sister. I chose John after
observing him in the classroom and talking to his first and second grade teachers.
Among a class of 19-second grade students, he is the only one who sucks his thumb
and has difficulty interacting with other students. John can be extremely
argumentative and short tempered with the other students. After speaking with his
first grade teacher she stated she had a very difficult year with John. On many
mornings, John screamed and cried in class and rarely completed any class or
homework. Even after conferencing with his parents his academic performance did
not improve.
John's current second grade teacher says that he doesn't cry and scream, but that
he doesn't complete class or homework. The few instances he did complete some
work it was very sloppy. His 2nd grade teacher, Miss Jones, says that John has the
potential to do so much more in class because when giving oral responses, he
understands the daily lesson, but fails with the written work.
I continued to collect information about John by looking at his CUM folder.
Inside his CUM was paperwork for a Student Intervention Team (SIT). A SIT
involves the school counselor, teacher, and parent of the student who is experiencing
difficulties in school. The...

...In ancient India, schools were in the form of Gurukuls. Gurukuls were traditional Hindu residential schools of learning; typically the teacher's house or a monastery. During the Mughal rule, Madrasahs were introduced in India to educate the children of Muslim parents. British records show that indigenous education was widespread in the 18th century, with a school for every temple, mosque or village in most regions of the country. The subjects taught included Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Theology, Law, Astronomy, Metaphysics, Ethics, Medical Science and Religion.
Under the British rule in India, Christian missionaries from England, USA and other countries established missionary and boarding schools throughout the country. Later as these schools gained in popularity, more were started and some gained prestige. These schools marked the beginning of modern schooling in India and the syllabus and calendar they followed became the benchmark for schools in modern India. Today most of the schools follow the missionary school model in terms of tutoring, subject / syllabus, governance etc.with minor changes. Schools in India range from schools with large campuses with thousands of students and hefty fees to schools where children are taught under a tree with a small / no campus and are totally free of cost.

Edgar Allan Poe
1. Explain the unique aspects of the rooms, including how many of them there are and what makes them different?
2. What is the effect of the ebony clocks’ chimes on the assembled guests?
3. The word mad means insane. What is ironic about the narrator’s mention that ‘There are some who would have thought Prospero mad’?
4. What details about the seventh room makes it grotesque in appearance?
5. What does the masked figure walking and its movement through the 7 rooms represent?
6. Why do you think the masked figure is allowed to walk the length of the rooms uninterrupted?
7. List the elements of Gothic Literature apparent in this story:
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
From “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe, published in 1945
FOR the most wild, yet most homely narrative, which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it, in a case where my very senses reject their own evidence. Yet, mad am I not -- and very surely do I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day I would unburden my soul. My immediate purpose is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly, and without comment, a series of mere household events. In their consequences, these events have terrified -- have tortured -- have destroyed me. Yet I will not attempt to expound them. To me, they have presented little but Horror -- to many they will seem less terrible...

Abstract
This is a qualitative study of 11 schools and six school divisions selected to expand
and organize Special Education-Inclusive Education Program in the Third Elementary
Education Program (TEEP) of the Department of Education in the Philippines. Schoolbased management (SBM) became the integrating framework of TEEP three years into
the project. The study investigated how the local schools in selected pilot areas have
used SBM to address the issues on (1) access to formal school, (2) quality of
educational experiences, and (3) stakeholders’ participation in school activities that are
relevant to the interests of children with special needs. Results show that most schools
gauge access by the number of identified students with special needs. Quality is linked
to the availability of SPED teachers and resources. Participation is associated with
parents’ involvement in their special child’s individualized education...

...increasingly familiar to highschool students nation-wide. Schools are encouraging student to participate in communities that contribute so much to their public education. However, requiring 100 hours of community service is asking too much of students and should be reduced to 50 hours. Students already have their hands full among homework, clubs, sports, and their actual lives.
Because the work may not be volunteering if it is required, then students can receive grades and credits that will show up on their transcripts for the community service they volunteer for. It is true of course, that requiring 50 hours of community service would take up students’ time for homework, clubs, and sports, but the service could be completed during the summer and student would have 4 years of their highschool career to complete. Wouldn’t requiring the volunteer work make it not voluntary? Well, yes, of course! But it would give students the chance to say, “I am never doing that again”, or “I am glad I did that.”
Academic gain. Students will tend to do better in school because they would be able to apply what they are learning in school. Increase in self-efficiency for students because they learn that they can all make a difference in what they do, “Can-do-attitude.” Additionally students will increase their problem-solving skills, while volunteering students will run into problems that...

...﻿Philippine Science HighSchool (PSHS) students topped the Project Tuklas science contest sponsored by Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation (Shell) in coordination with the Philippine Development Foundation (PhilDev) and AIESEC Philippines.
“It’s something very innovative,” said Julia Alexander Chu, president of Project Tuklas organizer AIESEC University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman, referring to the project of PSHS juniors Creo Baylon, Miguel Ortega and Otto Lorenzo Uylangco. "It could probably power cities or towns.”
The winning project, “Determination of the Most Efficient Generator of Harvesting Energy from Human Walking Motion,” captured electricity generated from walking. It bested projects from 11 other teams of third year students from different public highschools in Metro Manila. The prototype, consisting of strips of metal wired together, is placed under the insole of shoes. Foot pressure from walking then activates the device. Small amounts of electricity generated from the walking motion can power a small light, motor or transmitter.
“The PSHS team created and submitted the best example of innovation in energy, one of the criteria of the contest aimed at encouraging public highschool students to pursue college degrees and careers in science and technology,” said Gerrard Ortega, Vice-President and General Manager for human resources of Shell.

HighSchool Football - Reduce the Risk and Reap the Rewards?
September 13, 2013, was sixteen year old Damon Janes’ last football game. Why, because he was pronounced dead in a local Buffalo hospital three days after that game. His cause of death, brain damage. Janes took numerous hits to the head during a varsity football game. He seemed perfectly healthy, but in actuality, he suffered brain swelling, bleeding, and bruising all resulting from numerous hits to the head while playing football. Janes was only one of the eight highschool athletes who died in 2013 from the brain and spine injuries they suffered while playing highschool football. In addition to brain trauma, heart conditions, asthma and heat stroke have contributed to three times more deaths in highschool players than in college football; all of which may have been prevented. Since the early 1900s the game of football has continuously evolved in an effort to protect its players from injuries and fatalities. In fact, the rules and equipment changes over the years have done just that for college and NFL players. Sadly, according to a number of studies, this is not the case at the highschool level where many of these fatalities could have been avoided. It’s time to make high...
